Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

FWPCOT4221 - Plan for and supervise log yard operations

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?

Plan log yard operations

  1. Review log yard procedures, production requirements and confirm schedules, targets, specifications and performance indicators
  2. Confirm workplace health and safety, quality and environmental protection practices and/or procedures
  3. Identify hazards and associated risks and implement corrective actions according to workplace procedures
  4. Inspect raw materials, identify possible production and quality implications and communicate variations to production methods to team members
  5. Confirm legislation, standards and codes of practice relevant to log yard operations
  6. Communicate schedule, targets, specifications and performance indicators to team members
  7. Maintain communication with team members to ensure production schedule and workplace health and safety, environmental protection and quality requirements are met

Supervise log yard operations

  1. Monitor workflow and operations and check that schedule, targets, performance indicators, environmental protection requirements and product specifications are met
  2. Coordinate operation of plant involved in unloading and feeding logs into sawmill and the stacking, segregation and storage of logs to optimise workflow
  3. Coordinate management of log stocks to avoid degradation, identify out-of-specification logs, confirm log grades against quality requirements and maintain inventory levels
  4. Monitor log yard to identify operational problems, vehicle movements, in-flow management and raw material availability, and implement appropriate remedial actions
  5. Monitor implementation of quality processes and chain of custody requirements
  6. Evaluate effectiveness of operational processes at key points
  7. Modify operational processes or schedules, as required, to ensure optimum performance
  8. Monitor implementation of processes for reuse, recycling or disposal of sub-standard logs
  9. Respond to breakdowns, disruptions to operations and unplanned events according to workplace procedures
  10. Direct logs to storage or transfer for further processing
Monitor workflow and operations and check that schedule, targets, performance indicators, environmental protection requirements and product specifications are met
